This debut from Daniel Wolfe-featuring tremendous cinematography from
Robbie Ryan-is a tense thriller about a British Pakistani girl on the
run. … It is a grimly nihilist drama based on the murderous phenomenon
of the "honour killing" in British Pakistani communities. When Laila
(Sameena Jabeen Ahmed) runs away to live with her boyfriend Aaron (Conor
McCarron) on a caravan on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors, her family
refuse to tolerate it, and hire a posse of tough guys-both white and
South Asian to get her back. … Catch Me Daddy is a fierce and boldly
questioning drama about tribal politics and gender politics in
contemporary Britain.
- Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian.
